Hi,
I want to install the next rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448552
through recovery mode.
But how do i come in the recovery mode on my SE Arc S?
--
I had already tried with ROM Manager but then nothing happens, only the phone is rebooted, and does not start in recovery mode.
--
Thanks!
Install the x-parts app and through the app install recovery.
To boot into recovery, turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) and when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you'll be in recovery.
Next time you post a question use the Q&A forums.

Propably you'll need to have kernel with recovery inside so you'll have to unlock bootloader.

Factory reset shouldn't do any harm. It's just going to delete all your data on phone and restore default settings. Anyway, if you would eventually have some problem, you will be able to fix it with Flashtool.

You want to install cm10.1? You must use custom kernel with it... They have cwm version built in... You don't have to install cwm...

Hello guys I'm new here. Just rooted my phone last week (Sony Xperia Acro S LT26w) and i want to install CM10. I managed to install CWM recovery without unlocking my bootloader. I used this filefrom the post reply of Pims83 at this thread. I installed CWM recovery without unlocking the bootloader because everytime I try to run my LT26w into fastboot it always ends up in usb charging mode, Blue led come in like 3-5 seconds and will disappear. My question is, can I install CM10 to my locked bootloader LT26w using this method?
Nope

Yes.
Lock bootloader = stock kernel
Stock kernel = no cm10

If your boot loader is unlocked you don't need X-Parts, flash a kernel with CMW, flash a ROM, done. Read the stickys.
The thing is my arc freezes when i try to get in cwm.

Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
Doomlord is working on that to make one for us. Right now there is no way for those who has Locked Bootloader to get CWM (including me). So we just can wait. If u want something to install, maybe u can just copy it straight away to system and change the permission.

In my case, when i installed CWM @ locked bootloader .55 FW, the CWM didn't work properly. So I suggest you to unlock bootloader & flash doomkernel which is pre loaded with CWM and TWRP.

Pushing the files to the system and changing the permissions is hectic than flashing through recovery. If any error happens it can result in unexpected accidents.
You can unlock the boot loader (u will lose bravia engine) and flash a custom kernel using flash tool.
In the development section you can find some cool kernels with build-in recovery.
If You don't want to unlock , then wait for someone to make a recovery for phones with locked boot loaders.
So, I successfully rooted my Acro S, and then I went on to install CWM. No problems so far...
Rebooted the phone and tapped the Sony logo several times to enter CWM, then I got stuck with a blank (lit black) screen. No led...
What happend and what do I do about it?
Any help appreciated!

hmm
its been noted that recoverx doesnt work with the 96fw (not only that but chance not to work at all on any firmware)
there is a cwm installer in the dev section somewhere
try that instead

I assume that you manage to root your phone, so there should be no problem to install CWM with this method.
